Republicans went against their own rules and held a special election in August to stop abortion; they lost. Republicans then lost in November and abortion rights were enshrined in Ohio's constitution. Now Republicans are saying no to democracy and laws.

Our problem here is all the Republicans. They're anti-American. Ship them off to a place that fits them better.

Get your god out of my government. Shitbags.

“No amendment can overturn the God-given rights with which we were born,”

But then, that implies that you don't have rights until you're born...

It's my Constitution-given right to not give a fuck what anybody's god says I should do.

I have just the gadsden flag for this

It should be socially acceptable to punch anyone in the face whenever they say stupid shit like this.

They definetly have the right to not have abortions themselves. But that's probably where the line should be drawn.

From the party that brought us great hits such as: Don’t Tread on Me, and Small Government! comes their new hit singles: Tread on You and Threateningly Massive Government!

If God wants it so bad, why doesn't he handle it his goddamn self?

A God given right to enforce laws over the public at their own whims?

So... Like a Monarchy and court of the throne?

How deliciously un-american of the Ohio Republicans.

If they'd like to join into a monarchical society, why not rejoin the Ol' British Empire as a Colony?

Shall we get the band back together on a mission from god?

All you have to do is kneel before the king.

So... Go on then... Kneel.

(/S if you couldn't tell, fuck the Monarchy)

Get God down here and let him tell us what rights he's given. I'll wait.

Your god didn’t give you the right to make laws, the people who overwhelmingly voted to legalize abortion did

A magic man in the sky told me I could take away your rights.

What they say their "god" says does not matter in a secular government. They can go fuck themselves. Whenever anyone talks about their god, in my head, I give it about as much relevance as if they were talking about what Harry Potter demands. Or

Also, I'd like it if more people were to ask these radical right wing religious extremists which god they are talking about. All too often, we give this provincialism - that talking about "God" must mean we have to assume they are talking about Jehovah/Yahweh/Allah - a pass. Make them spell it out.

It's my god given right to do whatever the fuck I want and force you to do the same!

Keep taking Ls at the polls, Christofascists.

Guys, they wanna take our freedoms.

God hates democracy apparently?

You're not giving me a good reason now to raise my children to believe in your god.

The last kind of government that claims to have a "God-given right" was a monarchy. Am I out of the loop and have missed the coronation of the King of Ohio?

They need to be removed from power by any means available.

God gave you free will but the only choice you are allowed to make is to obey. Same logic here. That's republican's understanding of democracy.

You know what the smart political thing to do here is? Shut up and go along with it. It was an off year and voters chose it in a landslide. Keep quiet, and they'll probably consider the issue settled by 2024.

Instead, they're going to make this an issue persisting into 2024 that drives massive turnout against them. They feel power slipping, so they tighten their hold, but that only makes it slip faster.

So does their "pro-life" stance hold any water once gun control is mentioned?

That's funny because I believe that it's my god given right to have one. Checkmate religious extremists! Need me to quote a Bible verse on it? Gimme a bit, I'm sure I can misinterpret one somewhere just like you guys do all the time.

It’s my unicorn given right to punch republicans in the face

No amendment can overturn the God-given rights with which we were born,” state Rep. Beth Lear (R-Galena) added in the Republican’s statement.

Glad to know we agree that God, if they exist, gave us the ability to perform abortions and you won't do anything to restrict them.

Fucking christians...

Have they provided evidence of that right and would they be prepared to debate that right within decent and structured debate?

Fuck Ohio Republicans!
